Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut Oil
- 0.5 cup Maple Syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 tablespoons Arrowroot Powder
- 1 tablespoon Almond Milk
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Ensure the coconut oil is at room temperature, resembling a firm but manageable consistency, not melted.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the coconut oil until it's fluffy and smooth.
Gradually add the maple syrup to the whipped coconut oil while continuing to mix at a medium speed.
Once the maple syrup is fully incorporated, add the vanilla extract, arrowroot powder, almond milk, and salt.
Increase the mixing speed to high and beat the mixture until you achieve a creamy and smooth texture, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
Taste the frosting and adjust the sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
Use immediately to frost cakes or cupcakes, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, allowing it to soften at room temperature before use.
